First visit to the beach!

I know I am a bad poster lately..... it has been busy around here! We just got back from a quick day trip to Cannon Beach, so I thought I would post a few photos!! We had a great time. Molly LOVED the sand! It was a beautiful, clear day when we arrived, but then the fog rolled in! Oh well!! We enjoyed the cool before it gets to 100 here in Tigard this week! More photos on Picasa (click on the last photo). Enjoy!

Molly's reaction to her very first fireworks!!

4th of July, 2009

We had a great 4th of July weekend!! Sally & Scott came out from Boulder, CO to visit and spend the 4th with us. It was a very busy day. Molly participated in our neighborhood kids parade for the first time! We BBQ'd some babyback ribs that were amazing. Molly saw her first fireworks! Then Molly went to bed and Sally, Scott K., Scott H, my mom & dad and I walked to Tigard High School watch the big fireworks there. All in all, it was a very memorable 4th!! Holidays are always more fun with kids to share the excitement. Here are some pictures from our day. There are more on Picasa if you click on the last picture!

Summertime is here!!

The past fews days have been hot ones in Oregon. In the upper 80's and 90's! We are very fortunate to have air conditioning to keep us (and especially Molly!) cool. Some of my friends from my Moms group I am in told us about this great park in Wilsonville that is great for kids on hot days. It is called Memorial park and there are lots of fountains for the kids to play in. We went with some of the moms & babies on Thursday and Molly had a blast!! She has no fear and seemed to love the water! We had so much fun, we decided to take Matt back there today since he had the day off! We all had a great time. I think we have found a new summer hang out!! Here are some pictures from our two days at the water park! Enjoy!
